Those glands that swell gradually and don’t hurt could be thought of as tumors or cancers.
The most common causes of glands enlargement and pain are mononucleosis, rubella, mumps, ear infections, tonsillitis, impacted tooth, swelling of the gums, mouth sores and STD’s. Does your daughter have any other symptoms besides the swollen nodes?
How long have the glands been swollen? The pain should disappear after a few days without any treatment but the swelling may take time, up to a months after the infection was gone. Have you seen a doc already?
